NBAA to Host Business Aviation Regional Forum in Seattle on August 26

Washington, DC, August 17, 2004 – The National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) will host a Business Aviation Regional Forum on Thursday,
August 26 at Boeing Field/King County International Airport (BFI) in Seattle, WA. NBAA's Business Aviation Regional Forums are learning and
networking experiences designed to meet the needs of regional business aviation operators, those wishing to learn more about this form of
transportation, and vendors across the United States.

NBAA Regional Forums bring together business aircraft owners, operators, manufacturers, customers and other industry personnel for networking and
information sharing at some of the best airports and FBOs worldwide. Because the Forums are hosted regionally, Exhibitors and Attendees can meet with
sales prospects and colleagues who share concerns and ideas relative to their particular geographic regions.

The Regional Forum in Seattle will feature nearly 40 indoor exhibits, 17 static aircraft and a full slate of informational sessions at Galvin Flying
Service on the airport. Briefing topics will include security for business aviation operations, getting the most from aircraft OEMs, regulatory
options for business aviation operations, mission profiling, preventing and eliminating maintenance incidents, transitioning from paper to electronic
charting, planning domestic flights into RVSM airspace, justifying aircraft modifications and retrofit projects, flight department management systems
and a local group update.

The event will be held from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. All business aviation industry personnel, potential and present, are invited to attend. Admission
is $40 for NBAA Members and $50 for non-Members.

The Regional Forum on August 26 will be held in conjunction with an NBAA Maintenance Management Workshop on August 25 and an NBAA Regulatory Issues
Forum on August 27. For more information about these events, visit www.nbaa.org/seminars.

NBAA represents the aviation interests of more than 7,600 companies that own or operate general aviation aircraft as an aid to the conduct of
their business, or are involved with business aviation. NBAA Member Companies earn annual revenues approaching $5 trillion  a number that is
about half the gross domestic product  and employ more than 19 million people worldwide. The NBAA Annual Meeting & Convention is the
world's largest display of civil aviation products and services.
